Last July, Activision Blizzard was at the center of a discrimination and harassment scandal. Ten months later, the company stated that the DFEH accusing it violated the requirements for filing a lawsuit.
According to Activision Blizzard, before filing the lawsuit, the department was obliged to conduct a thorough investigation and try to settle the claims of the employees, but DFEH did not do this. Allegedly, he announced the completion of the investigation even before he received all the materials from the company.
Activision Blizzard also pointed out that with its lawsuit, DFEH unfairly damaged the reputation of the publisher and undermined public confidence.
